Please, read these instructions carefully before connecting and using the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance read these instructions carefully. Repairing the
failure arising from inappropriate connections or use of the appliance is not
covered by the guarantee.
1.Removing the packaging and inspection
• After unpacking, make sure that the washing
machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the
washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or
your local retailer.
• Check that the accessories and supplied parts are
all present.
• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.
• If the appliance was exposed to the cold before
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.
2.Remove the transport bolts
• The washing machine is fitted with transport
bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior
during transport. Before using the washing
machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts
are removed.
• After their removal, cover the openings with the
4 enclosed plastic caps.
3.Install the washing machine
• You are advised not to install the appliance in a
room where the temperature could drop to
below 0°C.
• Given the weight of the appliance, attention must
be paid to safety standards when it is being moved.
• When positioning the appliance, make sure that
the power cable is not kinked or compressed and
that it can be easily accessed if required.
• Remove the protective film from the control
panel (if available on your model).
• Move the appliance without carrying it by the
worktop.
• Install the appliance on a solid and level floor
surface, preferably in a corner of the room.
• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting
on the floor and then check that the washing
machine is perfectly level (use a spirit level).
• In case of wooden or so-called "floating floors"
(for instance certain parquet or laminate floors),
place the appliance on a 60 x 60 cm sheet of
plywood at least 3 cm in thickness which is
secured to the floor.
• If the washing machine is installed on a carpeted
floor, leave sufficient space between the
appliance and the floor to guarantee the free
circulation of air.
4.Water supply
• Connect the water supply inlet hose in
accordance with the regulations of your local
water company.
• Water supply:
• Water tap:
• Water pressure
(flow pressure):
• Use only new hoses to connect the washing
machine to the water supply. Used hoses must
not be used and should be discarded,
5.Drain
• Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink by means of the "U" bend
supplied.
• If the washing machine is connected to an
integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is
equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous
loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).
6.Electrical connections
• Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions and current standard
safety regulations.
• Voltage, power consumption and electrical
protection data are supplied on the inside of the
appliance door.
• The washing machine must be connected
exclusively by means of a socket with an earth
connection in accordance with current
regulations. The washing machine must be
earthed by law. The manufacturer declines all
liability for possible damage to property or injury
to persons or pets deriving from failure to
observe the a/m directions.
• Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.

disconnect it from the mains supply.

disconnection from mains supply must be
ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.

been damaged during transport. Inform the
After-Sales Service.
